The Month of HELL

I have been dreading the month of February for fear of the Flu.

Feb 2007 - Jeff, myself, Sidra and my mom all came down with the flu! It was the worst not being able to stand up and throwing up and diarrhea and trying to take care of a 10 month old at the same time. I remember laying on the futon on our 3rd floor and Jeff laying on the floor. We were so weak! We put Sidra in the pack and play and put her right in front of the tv. She was sick too but no where near as sick as we were. That was one of the worst weekends.

Feb 2008 - Sidra got the flu first and boy was she bad. She had the cold and the stomach thing. All she wanted was Mommy so for days I laid with her on the couch. I actually took her to the drs for fear she would get too dehydrated. I should have taken her to the ER to get an IV but I thought that would freak her out even more so we stuck with trying to force the fluids in her. Jefferson, Jeff and myself got the flu as well but I would say Sidra was by far the worst.

Feb 2009 - Sunday night it happened - Sidra was so sick and threw up a million times. She was afraid to throw up but I got a bucket to make it easier so she wouldn't feel bad. She is still under the weather but now Jeff and Jefferson are sick. It's 4:30am now and I just had to strip Jefferson entire bed and bumper and its washing now. I'm really worried that I'll be next - this thing spreads like crazy. Jeff will be home sick today, poor guy - he was so bad last night!

Well that's my story so if I'm not updating its because I'm either sick myself or attending to sick people. Blah!
